Mr. E. W. Frost read his Bowdoin prize dissertation on "Henriette Maria and Marie Antoinette" in Sever 11 last evening. The essay began by a brief sketch of the political aspects of the times in which the two queens lived, followed by a description of their early life and training. The two queens were then ably compared as to their personal character and career in after life - their respective relations as women, wives and queens, with their influence on the age in which they lived. The essayist concluded by a short summing up of the chief features in the careers and characters of the two queens compared, and the verdict of the student as to the life of each.
